IUCN status: Near Threatened
EPBC Predator Threat Rating: Not assessed
IUCN claim: “Another threat is predation by feral cats (moderate, mainland part of range), which has not been demonstrated, but is highly plausible on the mainland; however, this is somewhat ameliorated by the rugged nature of habitat, which offers some protection from cats, and by partially arboreal behaviour.”
